A double 24 hour MRE review featuring a 2023 Italian Module C Combat Food Ration, a classic canned ration with a fantastic variety of components and accessories. The second one is an incredibly well made lightweight freeze dried 24 hour ration issued to the Alpine Mountain Infantry with a 2024 date of production. It has instant pocket espresso, scrambled eggs with ham, and more.

I would love to see you do some deep dives into components like napkins comparing different types and the effectiveness of them.
The food quality of this packet does not look very enjoyable.
I noticed this last time, the breakfast unit is 95% accessories 😂
1:37 id pinch a loaf in it.
I just enjoy the simplicity of Steve’s video’s and ration reviews. After spending 8 years munching on rations during my duties, I resented them. Steve has brought back the joy. Nice!
The man has had botulism before, I trust his judgement.
Looks like MCI US ration in the 50s – 70s that the Italian Army adapt from on to their 2023 Italian 24 Hour Combat Food Ration Module C.
For the Freeze Dried Commando MRE Taste, Definity need Tabasco sauce
24:41 “Thats.. souuup… Italians love soup”
For a man with the stomach made of steel to choose not to eat something is telling you all that you need to know about those items.
You're supposed to put the fish in the soup.
Nice
The menu seems pretty dang good, just the whole setup is a bit behind in terms of tech/methods
Extended Steve count me in
Put the fish in the soup!
"what's that smell?"
"Botulism."
Nice little hiss.
You're a legend Steve as always 😊
coffee and some gum for lunch…
The "bread candies" are actually crusca tablets that are ment to make you poop
Steve and caffeine. My morning? NICE!
10:26 Ugh bro dont use a plastic spoon on hot drinks. You just drank a microplastic cocktail. 🤢
Bummer, those cans were spoiled, but what can you do. I'm sure altitude has something to do with the overseasoning, too. Thanks Steve

Steve, thank you for your work.
In this video – g o u r m e t
Italy has a military? Who knew?
the packet coffee seems so wasteful and too expensive and heavy
Funny how the MRE of the 1940s were in a better condition isn't it
Okay breakfast is a big nope for me. There is literally no food there. And I am a sweet tooth. But yeah if you're going to be doing anything heavy work or being a soldier you need more to eat in the morning than just caffeine and sugar to make it to lunch.
54:52 a rock or something detected
I went to Italy and I feel like those are my people (Aside from excessive smoking and Caffeine intake) I only have like a pastry and coffee for Breakfast the only difference was they had like 4 espresso's.
2023 and the Chocolate has bloomed that much? That must be an indication of bad storage especially if it was supposed to be dark chocolate. Looked as crumbly as ones he has opened from he Vietnam War era.
That pack should have backpack straps on it! 😅
Always Nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For a ration this recent the packaging looks like it's been to hell and back
Why does all Italian rations seem like they are part of some corruption scheme by the supplier and the guy who orders them?
